What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Matt Gay (LV K), our K27 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 7.4 projected points with a spicy Pepper Meter rating. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. Only 2% of leagues roster him, so this is cheap production before the price goes up. 7.4 points is roughly 1% short of the K baseline, and I rank on output, not name recognition. Sally keeps him at Spicy until the usage says otherwise.
